TORONTO — Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week:

Hudson's Bay

Hudson’s Bay and B.C. billionaire Ruby Liu have until Tuesday to file court documents responding to landlords and one of the department store’s leading lenders who want the retailer to end a deal to sell 25 of its leases to Liu. The parties are expected to finish the week with cross-examinations on Thursday and Friday, followed by an additional day, if necessary, on Monday.

Cineplex earnings

Cineplex Inc. is expected to report its second-quarter earnings on Tuesday. The movie theatre company reported a net loss and a drop in revenue during its first quarter.

Bank of Canada

The Bank of Canada will release on Wednesday its summary of deliberations for its recent interest rate decision. The central bank's policy was kept unchanged at 2.75 per cent, as governor Tiff Macklem said the economy is showing some "resilience" against the backdrop of trade uncertainty and that underlying inflation has proven stubborn.

Metro earnings

Metro Inc. is expected to release its third-quarter results on Wednesday before markets open. As the tariff battle with the U.S. persists, major grocers have moved to replace American suppliers with local products amid a buy Canadian shopping trend.

Housing data

The Canadian Real Estate Association will release its July home sales data on Friday. Home sales in June rose 3.5 per cent compared with a year ago, and were up 2.8 per cent month-over-month on a seasonally adjusted basis.
